These are the Seafood Council's activities at the Barcelona expo

The expo is a central meeting place for the seafood industry and an important arena to highlight why Norwegian seafood is the best in its class.

The week offers various activities aimed at providing new insights, promoting Norwegian seafood, and exchanging experiences with known and unknown seafood enthusiasts.

Here is more information about some of the events happening in Barcelona:
